Greetings all.
Many of you will be familiar with what we call femme fatale fashion.
That is, female fashion that has been inspired by a long line of typically “bad girl” icons of stage and screen.
It seems that every era since the 30’s has had a femme fatale fashion icon who has influenced the fashion scene to a huge degree.
Growing up in the 90’s as a teenager I always thought Michelle Pfeiffer as Cat Woman was the ultimate symbol of this fashion genre, which was then perhaps overshadowed slightly by the gritty Mia played by Uma Thurman of Pulp Fiction fame.
However these two characters are by no means the original Femme Fatale.
The name “femme fatale” actually means deadly woman in French. Perhaps some of the oldest names of the genre are ladies such as Helen Gardner and Rita Hayworth, who were both in their own right typical of these kinds of woman, beautiful, cunning and manipulative.
Basically a woman who fits into the description of femme fatale, is a woman that men desire, but should never try to get involved with…probably because it will end in their demise.
